dreaming of rome

This semester I am taking a Roman archaeology class, and today's lecture only had me dreaming of my days in Rome (I studied abroad in Florence last summer with a four-day opening tour in Rome.) I miss it so much! When the professor showed a photo of the Stadium of Domitian on the PowerPoint, I could almost taste the nutella and strawberry gelato I had near Piazza Navona.
The first gelato I ever had

We discussed The Colosseum earlier this week...
I met an Italian who said "I live that way, near the Colosseum" like it was no big deal
We talked about The Pantheon too!

The Vatican is gorgeous! It was cool to see some of the art in the book that I saw in the museum.
I took this photo of The Vatican from far away at this other castle! What wonders a zoom lense can do
I am so nostalgic right now. I miss Italy so much! I so, totally, completely, hope I am fortunate enough to go back and visit.

But for now, my Roman archaeology class will just have to suffice!
